DK teams!

[Souca]

Why do you have to level a BS or miner? Nothing your DKs will need is BoP crafted - mining can be helpful but honestly its faster to just do dailies/quests and then buy bars off the AH then it is to farm the mats yourself.

True. It's not a necessity in the normal sense. I have a thing for self sufficiency. I like being able to do things on my own, it's the main reason I box. I don't' want to have to rely on mats or BoEs being on the auction house. another reason is that I'm planning on RaFing up a large number of characters. It will get prohibitive to buy everything even with access to endless dailies. I also enjoy end game proffesions to some extent. Mining can be relaxing when I just want to wander around looking for World PvP, same with herbing. If I don't feel like farming, I can always buy. But if I don't have the professions I can't farm when I don't feel like buying I also like the BS sockets for my tanks.

As for buying things, right now my toons are pretty poor. I think I've got just over 10k in the guild bank and I've yet to buy flying and cold weather flying. My two 80s are on another server and are horde, so I can't easily get money from 80s quests from them. In the long run I'm not worried about money, I'm just trying to be careful about where I spend it until I have a team at 80. Gearing out 5 DKs to blood tank instances will require crafted gear. I'm not sure I want to buy it all and push epic flying out further into the future. Doing dailies without epic flying is possible, but I'm not sure I'd want to do it more than I had too.

Anyone know if there is a good list of gold rewards per zone for quests at 80? Something like Zul'Drak is worth 5k at 80, Grizzly Hills is worth 4.2k? something like this might be useful in deciding if its worth skipping a zone to quest for cash at 80. If there isn't I might have to create one. Would anyone use something like that?
